Most of the apartments in Isla Vista are just cheap boxes with no redeeming architectural value, but yet they have that roof beam - most of which are rotting in the sun. I went to some services in that A frame church back in the '80s. It was a Methodist church then. There is nothing South Pacific about. It just has a neat roof that creates the feeling of a cathedral. But it, like a lot of those A frame churches of the '60s, costs a fortune to heat because of the room height and the lack of insulation. I remember midweek events there where they didn't turn up the thermostat and you weren't too comfortable.
